Pressure-Test Equipment Checkout - December 20th, 2022

The team assembled and checked the water-pressure equipment intended for later tank, plumbing and component proof tests.

Result

A black-hose connection leaked during setup and was tightened. The corrected setup then held approximately 500 psi with roughly 600 psi at its inlet. This was an equipment checkout, not a proof test of the complete Spender system.
